Collection details
SutureVet offers a comprehensive range of canine sutures covering the full breadth of dog surgery — from routine neutering and skin laceration repair to complex orthopaedic reconstruction, soft tissue oncology, and gastrointestinal procedures. Our canine suture selection is curated to meet the demands of both general practice and specialist referral surgery.
We stock absorbable sutures including polyglactin, poliglecaprone, and polydioxanone for internal tissue layers, alongside non-absorbable nylon, polypropylene, and polyester options for skin closure and orthopaedic applications. Gauges range from heavy 0 and 1 for large breed orthopaedic work down to fine 4-0 and 5-0 for delicate soft tissue procedures.
Needle configurations include taper point for visceral and muscle layers, reverse cutting for skin and tough connective tissue, and blunt options for friable tissue. All products are ISO-certified and trusted by veterinary surgeons and practices across the UK.
Benefit from competitive trade pricing, bulk discounts, and fast UK dispatch when you order canine surgical sutures from SutureVet.

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP357H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament incorporating triclosan antibacterial technology, PDS® Plus ensures smooth tissue passage, predictable hydrolytic absorption and prolonged wound stability.
The antibacterial coating is designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting infection risk management in surgical environments. The USP 2-0 diameter provides strong tensile performance suitable for fascial and abdominal wall closure requiring secure approximation and reliable knot integrity.
The extended 36 inch (90 cm) strand length supports continuous suturing techniques and efficient closure of larger operative sites. This suture is supplied with a CT taperpoint needle (40 mm), enabling smooth penetration of soft tissue while maintaining needle stability and control during placement.
With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
